1978 Ford LTD Country Squire

400 V8. 4k original miles? Looks nice enough to be possible.

That front bumper is tweaked downward.

 

We have definitely seen this gorgeous Squire on here before. I remember it because the applique is missing on the right hand headlight cover. I'm betting this is going to go for over $10K. 4600 original miles? I, too, believe it looking at its condition. There's nothing like a white Country Squire, always one of the most popular and best looking colors regardless of year. I want this one badly. Oh wait, I don't have the money for it!!!

 

great to see this one, it looks nice. If it was red or black I would be a bidder.

 

Love it in white, I too think they want at least 10k but would almost be worth it, looks like it would need very little work.

 

hey, hey, hey

Yeah, it's nice. It's red inside. Why are the ones that are nice on the outside , red inside. ?

 

Beauty, eh?

 

I called the guy; he never called me back. I hate that.

 

8,200….reserve still not met. He has to want over 10,000.

 

Credit unions (most anyway) will only loan up to low NADA retail value on classic cars. They don't go by mileage or condition or how showroom new they look.

The low NADA retail value on this wagon is a measly $1275. Someone will have to already be rich to be able to buy this one or be one of those that can get whatever they want - you know the kind... they see something they want, they can get it.

 

Bid to $9100 with reserve still NOT met. Wow. My goodness. This Country Squire is a rare bird if the miles are correct, but the lack of options really hurts as to its desirability IMHO.

 

Ditto one day later!

 

I don't think it even has a third seat. I read the window sticker; it is a fairly basic one, still I love it, though. The guy never called me back, do you believe that?

 

Yeah, it has only a few options.

Never called back... yeah I believe it. I often wonder how serious people are to sell something. There was a guy going to send me some pics of a '73 Country Squire he has for sale... 4 days, still waiting. Often people don't do what they say either though. My new motto? Trust no one.

 

78 Squire

I've known this car for over 10 years. Actually passed on it from the
original owner who lived in Lake Geneva Wisconsin. I passed on it
because even back then it had stuff wrong that a 4,000 mile car should
NOT have. Like, missing hood insulation, front door speaker missing and
other doesn't match, a LOT of nicks and missing decal on outer wood-
grain trim moldings, front head-light door emblem missing, etc.......
I'm just saying, for a 4,000 mile car, that is a lot of stuff and more.....
I've seen 50-70,000 mile cars with none of that stuff..
Still, a rare wagon to say the least!
